it's great that the corporate lawyers who do this shit get more of societies abstracted denatured fungible resources than any doctor, any engineer, any social worker. this fucking system is irreparably broken.

there are things we can do though.

we can exclude them from society; the entire professional apparatus of law that enables this. we can put bodily fluids (or random allergens) in their food and drink. we can treat them rudely and last at the hospital. we can lose their paperwork. we can slash their tires. we can spit in their faces. we can cut them off in traffic. we can publish the graduating classes of law schools. we can pick fights with them in bars. we can ruin their dry cleaning. I bet some of us could even fuck up surgeries, or just be a little slow with the jaws of life. we can even reward any children that bully theirs, encourage it, coach it, unless those children loudly reject their parents. we can undercut and isolate and torment them at every opportunity. and we can normalize all of this. not that any of us will ever see it happen, of course. I know I'm not going to see shit.

Most countries have some waivable rights. The US specifically allows you to waive your right to bring disputes to court through contracts. You retain the ability to challenge the arbitration requirement in court, but if you have any other concerns, it's arbitration.

Corporations are of the opinion that nuh-uh.

The lawsuit alleges that Raglan Road failed to educate, train and/or instruct its employees to make sure food was allergen-free.

They're responsible for proper safety trianing.

As someone else pointed out, if that happens we can force them into arbitrage on copyright issues. I’m opening Disney World 2.0.

🤔

I remember asking “is there any way they can both lose?”

Because you’re 100% correct. Billion/Trillion dollar companies care only about profit. If they do something we like it’s because they think that is a profitable move, in either the short or (much more rarely the long) term.

That was kind of a "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" type situation. I don't think most people were rooting for Disney to win, they just wanted to see Desantis lose

I never thought they were great but I was willing to watch DeSantis run straight into that wall.

If they burn each other to the ground, that's fine by me

I remember people acting like it was great that DeSantis thought he could take on the Mouse, but I don't think anyone was fooled that Disney was on our side. More like when cartoonishly evil mayor tries to tame the monster that lives under the town and so it eats him for his hubris. See: Smug Snake Bullying the Dragon.

Imagine if 2 or more things could be true at the same time!

1. Disney is a giant evil corporation that has some extremely unsavory practices.

2. DeSantis is a trash goblin

3. People don't want Disney and the products it produces to be destroyed especially by the grimy hands of a trash goblin.

They are just opportunists. Anything that benefits them is their policy. If being supportive of queer people makes them money, then that is what they do. If being racist were to make them money, then they would be racist. As long as they make money, corpos will support literal hitler without batting an eye.
